Creator Journals 10/9/25 I was off work today, which means I got 8 hours of sleep instead of my usual 5! I wanted to spend the day finishing my very first revision of Beach Knight, but I got tired out and only managed to do like 10 pages. I’m supposed to be dedicating this monthContinue reading “Try Brain?”

Vulture Ascending
Creator Journals 10/7/25 It was cooler today, and the sidewalk was strewn with Fall leaves. I finished chapter 9 today. That means I have one more to write and then a crap-load of revision. I’m still trying to figure out everything I want to change, but it will take quite a bit of work toContinue reading “Vulture Ascending”
Vulture Hits a Snag
Creator Journals 10/4/25 Had to get a lot of errands and cleaning done today, because my wife and I are going on a weekend trip. For the first time, I might not get the chance to finish my chapter in a day. That’s okay, I think, since I only have two chapters left and OctoberContinue reading “Vulture Hits a Snag”
Caramel Ghost
Creator Journals 10/2/25 I’m writing this from a coffee shop, where I recently drank something called a “Caramel Ghost Latte.” It was delicious, though I may end up regretting all of this caffeine consumption so late in the day. I just finished drafting Chapter 7, and it’s preeeeetty rough. I guess I should have anticipatedContinue reading “Caramel Ghost”
Vulture’s Eyes
Creator Journals 10/2/25 I spent a chunk of time making a Spotify playlist for my new story, but it’s not done yet. Writing felt very challenging today. I think I’m still sick. I feel worse today than I did yesterday. I got my 2k words in, but I think they were really rough this timeContinue reading “Vulture’s Eyes”
Ominous Art
Creator Journals 9/28/25 It’s the weekend and I’m at work, but I got the chance to watch a good zombie movie before things started. It was a good morning. I’m not really supposed to be doing anything writing related today, but I started brainstorming cover ideas. There are a lot of things I wish IContinue reading “Ominous Art”
Making Things Up
Creator Journals 9/26/25 Full steam ahead! Chapter four complete! I should be done my rough draft during the first week of October if not sooner. That should give me plenty of time to get a cover and revise. I may even have time to revise a few more chapters of Beach Knight before November! 2kContinue reading “Making Things Up”
Fingers Tired
Creator Journals 9/26/25 I’ve completed three chapters of “The Cause of Death” Six more to go! It will probably need a substantial amount of revision, but I’ve got time. I’m still trying to figure out my character’s voice. Also, I was writing in a pretty comedic tone when I wrote “Beach Knight” while I wantContinue reading “Fingers Tired”
The Cause
Creator Journals 9/24/25 My wife’s cat passed yesterday. We ended up having to put him down very early in the morning. She’s had that cat for about 18 years. I’ve known him for over ten. It hit us really hard. I wrote out a heartfelt mini-essay about the complexity of grief, and then I deletedContinue reading “The Cause”
Midnight Blog
Creator Journals 9/23/25 I had a personal tragedy today. I didn’t write, and I’m typing up this blog post at 11PM, just barely crossing the finish line. I don’t really want to talk about it right now. I may talk about it tomorrow, depending on my mood. Either way, tomorrow I’ll begin writing “The CauseContinue reading “Midnight Blog”
